Thanks for the suggestion but that won't work for a number of reasons.

1) This list never ends. The plan is a 24/7 output.

2) The list is dynamic. The _next_ file in the list can be changed at 
any time prior to the playing of the file.

3) concat requires that all segments have the same number and type of 
streams. Sadly, some of these file might have 2 streams of mono audio 
(left/right), or 1 stream of 8 channel or... I'm not 100% clear on what 
PAT/PMT contains, but I think this is the same problem that I have to 
begin with.


I can do something like:

ffmpeg -i "file" -s 640x360 -r 29.97 -f avi - | ffmpeg -re -i - -vcodec 
libx264 -bf 0 -acodec libfaac -async 1 -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:11111

And as long as the first format (avi in this example) doesn't cause 
differing PAT/PMT tables in the mpegts output, then I am ok. Problem of 
course is mangling like this causes significant damage to video and much 
cpu. I can live with the cpu usage (to a degree) but not the video loss.

Any other ideas? Anyone?

Thanks again,

Deron
